Analog Discovery 3 (AD3)

Powerful collection of test instruments in a small package...

  • Anyone else using USB test gear in their ham shack/labs? I looked at the Analog Devices ADALM-2000 module as an alternate to the Digilent AD3, but liked the Waveforms SW and LabVIEW support better from Digilent. Needed a smaller, and more modern / capable multi-function test setup compared to eight or ten separate test instruments.
  • The Digilent AD3 includes:
    • 2-channel Oscilloscope
    • 2-channel AWG/function generator
    • plus/minus power supplies
    • 2-channel voltmeter
    • data logger
    • logic analyzer
    • pattern generator
    • spectrum analyzer
    • curve tracer
    • protocol analyzer
    • network analyzer
    • 16 digital I/O, and more, all in one small USB-C module
    • Included Waveforms SW and LabVIEW/MATLAB support
  • Useful accessories:
    • Audio Adapter+
    • 5V @4A power supply adapter
    • Impedance Analyzer
    • Transistor/Semiconductor Analyzer
    • Oscilloscope Adapter
    • Breadboard Adapter
    • Current and Power Adapter
